[sumo] Sumo Kyokai - the grinch that stole New Year.

[Charles Beauchamp]

There is zero history during the Ake-Taka-Waka era of the kyokai overtly obviously going after and attacking a Yokozuna the way they singularly do Asa.  None zilch it is yet another utterly baseless argument made by someone on this list.  This is unique.

Now this is just getting silly. Its not like he is being held prisoner 
at Takasago.

They probably will Jeanne. Just like there was always something to 
complain about (in the press) when Takanohana, Wakanohana, Akebono, and 
Musashimaru were active.
